Eman Osman is Somali and as a 9-year old, she came to Denmark from Kuwait as a refugee. She currently works at the Immigrant Women’s center for a project called “Somali Mother’s Building Bridge”, which is about being active in your own community and helping others who need a bit of support to be a part of Danish society. Her goal is to get these two communities to understand each other better.

Movement

The date was September 18th, the theme was Movement and 650 curious and passionate people were gathered at Bremen Theatre in Copenhagen to be inspired by talks grouped into four sessions.They’re Ideas Worth Spreading and our humble hope is that they will lead to Actions Worth Taking. Go and explore for yourself. Be moved.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxCopenhagen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxCopenhagen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
